In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.
Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.
Or it’s creating it.
Either answer is terrible for sports.

So many parents ask me how to stop hitting their children. First, you have to understand what’s really happening in your body. Hitting doesn’t “work” because it teaches a child anything. It “works” because it temporarily calms YOU.

This! Believe me, I get it. I wish abstaining could work. There's just never been a viable path. Until there is, it's just wishing your power away and if we are being honest, giving it away to the other side.
I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

Hi hospitalist here! This makes me fucking sick to my stomach. How dare he blame the systemic problems with the US healthcare system on immigrants. It is a lie that is made worse by the fact that this administration has actively been attacking and destroying the American healthcare system themselves
ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
